stay away from chevys that are lower end pt cruisers for sure got incredibly lucky and a rebuilt tranny and engine when i got mine and it sounds like other people are really not fond of jeeps i would honestly say your best bet would be like a toyota corolla buicks idk why they last so well since its all jeep dodge etc but damn they do and ive heard great things about older hondas thats about it honestly even then it comes down to whether it was regularly maintained and what big mechanical work has been already done to itwhat parts have been replaced
